You wanted to spend that kind of money on a relief pitcher in decline?

Exactly. He would've been nice at the right price but I certainly wouldn't have bid higher than the Cubs.

I was actually kidding.

I didn't want the guy. I forgot to put the smiley face there.

Relax.

That doesn't make sense. Your post was 3 sentences of complaining. How does putting a smiley in there change the tone of the post?

I was trying to make fun of people's perception of me. Relax.

Too much money! He could be a nice addition for the Cubs if he has the same numbers in the U.S. We are already talking to Koji and can get him for less money. He had great numbers with the Rangers last season. Strop will probably be in a deal for Butler or Dickey.

Koji's numbers - 36 innings with 43 K's and a 1.75 ERA. He made 4 million with the Rangers this year. Everyone would like to see Koji return it seems.

Well said, I'd rather have Koji, a proven big league pitcher.
